Not once we melt the arctic and the antarctic. Then we will have lot's
of extra water all round ;-)
Anyway I don't see this issue as I live in a tropical part of the world
and have a big river 10 minutes walk away. Also the Ocean is only 2

ahem, A water molecule is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen.
Therefore separating the parts gives us two whole hydrogen atoms to
excite and extract energy from. I have read that Hydrogen is
approximately 10 times more unstable than gasoline and therefore you
need less of it to create the same amount of explosive force.

So how is this different from a car motor that runs on gasoline?

Not as far as I know but it doesn't recycle every millilitre so there is
eventual need to top up the reserves.
